I posted it because I am a sailor who has had to deal with piracy first hand.
It directly affects me, because I operate in that area.
I have no reason to "hate" the Venezuelans, until they come here and try to impose the same stupid shit they imposed in their now destroyed homeland.
I hate Massholes for the same reasons.
No hate, if you stay the fuck away from me and my home and my vessel with your ideological poison and don't stick a Kalashnikov in my face to rob me on the high seas.

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

Again, meh.
I am fully aware that the WaPo, as member of the Monolithic State Media, is a government organ, pushing a government line.
Doesn't mean they can't be right from time to time...broken clock and all.
Hell, maybe they are trying to elicit sympathy among the "Kum-By-Ya, we're all global citizens" crowd, in order to import a couple million third world Venezuelan commies.

Not sure about the yellow card nonsense.
I can say they are ramping up the gate rape grope however.
This last time around, BOS 7 Aug. I got my balls fondled more than I have in years by anybody, other than myself.
Thirty more seconds and I would have had to put a ring on that guy's finger.

I went through Denver earlier this year and the line for security was long and winding as normal (one of the busiest airports in the country). Suddenly it was like a dam broke. Instead of standing and barely moving, were were going at walking pace. Moving steadily the entire way through the lines. No shoes off. No belts off. Only random people even had to do the scanner. They did have a dog in use. Somebody must have given an order to move things along. (No yellow cards though). Like everybody had been given an honorary "TSA Pre-Screen" pass that day.

"It is a state's right to secede" but would they like to secede themselves? A different question. That would show how strong "Secessionist Sentiment" really is.
Option #1 doesn't even mention secession but asks about state's rights:

Why is it if a guy does something to a chick and causes a miscarriage it's murder and there's outrage, if the miscarriage occurs naturally there's sadness any sympathy with no legal ramifications and if a chick eats a pill to force a miscarriage she's lauded as being empowered?
Why is it?

No state used any of them in the last election- Virginia was the last state to have them- and they have gotten rid of those as of 2015. Mississippi used them in one county in the 2012 election. Only states with them since 2007. https://www.wired.com/2015/08/virginia-finally-drops-americas-worst-voting-machines/
There won't be any "software updates". The company which made them is also out of business.

I know you mean well, but I'd appreciate it if you would avoid engaging people like Sola in this thread who are clearly only there to be rude and derail. Perhaps take it to PMs or another thread. Thanks! ~hugs~
